2018 Vault/MCCA Law Firm Diversity Survey

The 2018 Vault/MCCA Law Firm Diversity Survey is now closed. We thank all the law firms, both large and small, that participated this year to help us track law firm progress in the critical area of diversity.

The survey responses are currently being analyzed and a comprehensive report detailing this year’s survey results will be made available in the fall.

MCCA and Vault launched the initiative in 2004 to support the Chief Legal Officers’ Call to Action to increase diversity in our profession (Read the article). We worked closely with a general counsel advisory group to draft questions that will improve diversity and measure progress in our profession.

MCCA and Vault have also developed a database of historical results to make it easier to track diversity within a particular firm. Updated annually with data collected directly from more than 200 law firms, the Vault/MCCA Diversity Database is the only comprehensive database of its kind in the legal profession. Review the latest demographics and best practices with respect to recruiting, promotion and retention at the nation’s top law firms. Compare progress over time at individual firms or across the industry as a whole.

Whether you are a firm who has participated in the survey or a client who wants to assess the progress of your outside counsel, the Vault/MCCA Diversity Database can provide that information in minutes—and it is free to the legal community.

The following law firms participated in the 2017 Vault/MCCA Law Firm Diversity Survey. The responses they submitted are available in the Vault/MCCA Diversity Database and as individual Diversity Reports accessible from the firms’ Vault.com profiles.
